Nope, Easiest airport in Britain to pick up from, Just drive into the Drop off/Short stay car park which is only about 100 yards off the Dual Carriageway roundabout and throw your coins in the hopper on the way out.

Always plenty of parking in the Drop off/short stay.

International Arrivals LH side of the Building/UK arrivals on the right.

Easy peasy.

They have a coffee machine in the garage, and a bakers and subways, mind you cannot get the £3.00 meal deals at sub, due to them not being allowed to sell coffee due to the garage having that right.
The bakers is good for hot filled roles and you can add the price of a coffee on

Don't be so Tight Skip..Pay the Airport parking, pass it on to the Client and sit back and enjoy a Greggs Sausage and bean melt In international arrivals..and a wee cup of Coffee to wash it down. And factor that into the price to...your worth it, so live dangerously.
